Together they bring down the federal maximum security prison system and start off the prison reform movement in America. Kevin Bacon won a Screen Actor's Guild Award for his turn as the prisoner who was tortured into almost losing his mind by his warden and the American prison system, in 1995's film version. Gordon's writing credits include the screenplays to "Wyatt Earp" and the Oscar nominated film,"The Hurricane."
